Prize Money: $1,530

MAJOR ORSON (8) ran good time (25.82) winning a T3 RSTW three back at Shepparton but missed the frame latest finishing seventh at this track. Has the ability and can find winning form this time. PERFECT TONIGHT (4) has a moderate overall strike-rate. Finished in the minors latest when third (26.04) at Warrnambool and may be close to breaking through. Solid record here winning two races. Hard to beat again. REBEL THINKER (3) well back settling but did wind up strongly to finish 4th and beaten only 1.2 lengths (26.00) at this track. A forward showing wouldn't surprise. RAVEN XANDER (1) missed the placings here last start but is well-placed to atone.

Good effort at double-figure odds last time when third (25.98) over 450m at this track. Drawn close to the inside. Has to do a bit more.
